In a big show of confidence about the hopes for “Deadpool & Wolverine,” set to hit theaters in July and maybe save summer 2024 from the box-office doldrums, its director Shawn Levy (“Free Guy”) is apparently the first in line to be offered “Avengers 5,” formerly known as “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.” According to Deadline, Levy has emerged as the top choice for the director’s chair, and apparently ‘Avengers 5” screenwriter Michael Waldron (“Loki”) has given him the latest version of the script for his eyes only.

Deadpool & Wolverine is not in theaters for almost another two months, but the hopes and aspirations of the Marvel Cinematic Universe—and perhaps now the summer movie season box office itself—are already being placed on Ryan Reynolds’ broad, leather-clad shoulders. So it’s not like the Merc with a Mouth needed any more pressure. Yet pressure he might receive if the latest report out of Deadline is true: director Shawn Levy has entered early talks to helm the next Avengers movie.
The discussions are apparently in early stages, with the trade noting Levy has been handed the latest draft of the screenplay by Michael Waldron, but that Levy has apparently not decided if he would like to direct the film. Furthermore, Marvel Studios will continue approaching other directors while awaiting an answer about Levy’s interest. However, it would seem that Marvel has seen something they like in...

Director Shawn Levy may be sticking around the Marvel Cinematic Universe a bit longer.
Levy, who helmed this summer’s “Deadpool and Wolverine,” is being eyed by Marvel — though it’s in very early stages — to direct the next “Avengers” movie.
Destin Daniel Cretton, who made 2021’s Marvel movie “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” was previously supposed to direct the fifth “Avengers” movie, but he backed out in November 2023. That movie, which is scheduled for May 1, 2026, also does not currently have a title. It was originally named “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty,” but lost that title after Jonathan Majors, who was cast as the time-traveling villain Kang the Conqueror, was convicted of assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend. After this untitled “Avengers” movie, the next will be “Avengers: Secret Wars,” set for May 7, 2027.

The Avengers may be assembling for Shawn Levy.
Levy, who is busy putting the final touches on Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine, is in contention for the film and may be the studio’s choice to direct the next Avengers film.
The development is characterized as very early. Sources say Marvel and Levy are talking about the project and that the studio gave the latest script to the filmmaker late last week. But sources also say that other filmmakers are in the mix for the high-profile gig.
There is reason for some caution. Marvel previously — and quietly — offered the directing gig to Levy in mid-March, but at that point, the filmmaker turned it down. Scheduling was the concern at the time, as Levy is moving from various duties on Deadpool & Wolverine, which opens July 26, to the last season of Stranger Things. He is due to direct two episodes of the Netflix series,...

As Deadpool & Wolverine stands ready to save the summer box office, Marvel Studios may be looking to director Shawn Levy to save the Avengers as well. Deadline has heard that Levy has been given Michael Waldron‘s script for the next Avengers movie, and while no decisions have been made, it’s possible the studio may be eyeing him to direct the film.
Deadline adds that Marvel is “still planning to meet with other directors while they wait on a decision from [Levy].” However, he’s got some big projects on his slate. He will be “heavily involved” in the final season of Stranger Things and is also developing a Star Wars movie for Lucasfilm. Even if Levy doesn’t end up directing the next Avengers movie, I’d wager that he definitely has a future at Marvel, particularly as the studio seems to have a lot of faith in Deadpool & Wolverine.

Exclusive: As Deadpool & Wolverine tracks huge ahead of its July 26 release and looms as a summer box office savior, we can reveal that director Shawn Levy is the top choice and is having early conversations to direct another Marvel Studios pic — the next Avengers movie.
Deadline hears that Levy has been given the latest script by Michael Waldron, though sources add that he has not given an answer on whether he will take the job, and the studio is still planning to meet with other directors while they wait on a decision from him.
Marvel Studios could not be reached for comment.

According to IMDb data from the past week, the new Netflix series "Eric" was the most popular title on the site. The disturbing thriller—which stars Benedict Cumberbatch as a grieving father and puppeteer—has had sustained interest since its May 30th premiere, thanks to its polarizing effect on audiences, in addition to strong central performances by Cumberbatch and Gaby Hoffman (more on her later).
‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’ was the top movie among IMDb users last week, despite the fact that it was outperformed at the box office by both ‘The Garfield Movie’ and John Krasinski’s ‘IF’ during these sluggish early days of the 2024 summer movie season.
Gaby Hoffman was the top name on the site last week, thanks to her performance as Cassie Anderson in the aforementioned “Eric.” Hoffman started as a child actress in films like ‘Field of Dreams’ and ‘Uncle Buck,’ but is more recently known for her role as Ali Pfefferman on Prime Video’s “Transparent,” a role that earned her two Emmy nominations. Other top names last week were Morena Baccarin, who celebrated a birthday and stars in the upcoming ‘Deadpool & Wolverine,’ Nicola Coughlan of “Bridgerton” fame, and Anya Taylor-Joy of ‘Furiosa.’
Kaiju fans are also stomping over to IMDb to learn more about ‘Godzilla Minus One,’ which just landed on Netflix. The Oscar-winning Japanese film was a surprise hit, and movie fans who missed the theatrical run have been patiently waiting for a streaming release. The movie premiered way back in October 2023, an eternity in the streaming age.
Finally, horror aficionados are keeping the conversation around ‘The First Omen’ alive now that the prequel has arrived on Hulu. The spike in interest is no surprise after the film’s successful theatrical run, good word of mouth from critics and audiences, and a strong central performance from Nell Tiger Free. Could ‘The Second First Omen’ be on the table? Fingers crossed.

The “Alien” franchise’s 21st century output has been something of a mixed bag, with offerings ranging from the crossover blockbuster “Alien vs. Predator” to Ridley Scott’s polarizing prequels “Prometheus” and “Alien: Covenant.” But the sci-fi series is set to return in a big way courtesy of an upcoming TV show from Noah Hawley and “Alien: Romulus,” a new film hailing from director Fede Alvarez and executive producer Ridley Scott.
The film, which stars Cailee Spaeny and is based on an original idea from Alvarez, takes place 20 years after the events of Scott’s original “Alien.” The movie is one of the highest profile releases on Disney and 20th Century’s strike-shortened summer movie slate.
Disney’s distribution chief Tony Chambers embraced the R-rated nature of “Deadpool & Wolverine” and quoted something he heard from Ridley Scott on his thoughts on the movie during CinemaCon: “It’s fucking great.

Ryan Reynolds’ career before Deadpool was that of a talented actor, but he hadn’t yet achieved Hollywood A-list status. That turning point came with Deadpool. Iron Man with its debut in 2008 had already shown the industry the immense potential of a superhero franchise, and Reynolds understood that he needed to secure such a role to elevate his career to that level.

So when the opportunity for Green Lantern arose, although not as invested at first, in the end, he actively pursued it, even going so far as to beg for the role. However, little did he know, it would have the opposite effect on his career trajectory. Despite Green Lantern not meeting expectations, fans are grateful that it nudged Reynolds to have his moment eventually.

Beloved Character Will Skip Deadpool and Wolverine to Avoid 'Messing with Logan's Timeline' - Main Image
Deadpool & Wolverine is expected to feature several surprising cameos, but there’s one character fans have been wanting to see: X-23. However, it seems like it won't happen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to avoid messing with Logan’s timeline.
Fans know by now that Wolverine dies in the 2017 Logan, which was supposed to be Hugh Jackman’s final movie as the adamantium-clawed superhero.
However, the actor will make his triumphant return in Deadpool & Wolverine.
Given X-23’s importance in Logan and the possibility that the third Deadpool film may feature remnants of the 20 Century Studios movie, it’s the perfect time for Dafne Keen to reprise her role as Laura Kinney after seven years.
Sadly, she confirmed in an interview with On Demand Entertainment that it wasn’t happening.
“It's sad.

Disney will continue to be a collaborator to ‘help sustain’ the UK industry, having revealed it has spent £3.5bn on local production in the last five years.

Jan Koeppen, president of The Walt Disney Company Emea, has restated the company’s commitment to cinemas, speaking of the company’s “belief in the importance of theatrical distribution.”
“Everyone at Disney loves movies, and we love to make them big,” he said.
The Disney Emea boss was speaking at the Deloitte and Enders Analysis Media & Telecoms 2024 and Beyond Conference in London on Tuesday morning, where he touched on the breadth of Disney’s business, from theatrical to linear. Using “The Lion King” as an example, he noted that since the animated film’s debut 30 years ago it has spawned stage shows, theme park experiences, consumer products, is available on Disney+ and has a spin-off, “Mufasa,” coming out this winter. “We believe strongly that the breadth of our business is a key source of advantage,” he said. “It brings strength, resilience and opportunity.”

Disney’s Europe Head Touts Theatrical, Linear TV, Cites ‘Lion King’ as Example of Disney “Advantage”
The Walt Disney Co. has put much effort into getting its creative juices flowing again since Bob Iger’s return as CEO and recently fending off a challenge from dissident shareholder Nelson Peltz. In fact, the Hollywood conglomerate is focused on ensuring its status as a producer of hit content that can form long-running and deep “connections” with consumers, with its portfolio of businesses across platforms and experiences helping create lasting fan engagement with franchises over a lifetime and across generations.
That was the message sent by Jan Koeppen, the entertainment giant’s Europe, Middle East and Africa (Emea) president, at Deloitte’s Media & Telecoms 2024 and Beyond Conference on Tuesday as he shared his take on what makes the company “stand out in an industry that’s always competitive and always changing.”

Actor/ director and comedian Jordan Peele has been the mastermind behind some of the most talked about horror movies, including Get Out, Us, and of course, Nope. However, his recent cinematic journey as a producer has not been quite as promising as Dev Patel’s very own Monkey Man, despite the hype, was far from making a splash at the box office.

Certainly, Peele deserves a break, and his recent meeting with Marvel Executives might just change his fate. With the recent report, fans might wonder what project Peele would pick up. While most fans almost believed that he would direct Mahershala Ali’s Blade, we think he might just land on a different exciting project, given Yann Demange is set to direct Blade (if Marvel Studios is still sticking with him).

With reshoots ongoing on Marvel Studios' Captain America: Brave New World, a ton of new set photos have been surfacing online over the past few days and the latest batch reveals star Anthony Mackie ("Sam Wilson/Captain America") suited up in his classic white-and-blue suit from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, essentially reaffirming that he'll be sporting multiple looks in the eagerly-awaited Marvel blockbuster.
As per a recent report, the additional photography isn't expected to be particularly extensive, and should conclude within another week or two. New action sequences were expected to be added, so based on what we're seeing in these photos, it looks like they might be shooting a new opening for the film, where Mackie sports his first Captain America suit.
He'll also wear a wingless blue-and-red suit in the film, something not too dissimilar from Steve Rogers' stealth suit, but it's not yet clear what...

Another weekend in the books, another reason to be pessimistic about the state of the box office in 2024. We are just coming off of the worst Memorial Day weekend in decades in terms of ticket sales, thanks to weak performances by both "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" and "The Garfield Movie." Now? With no meaningfully big movies entering the marketplace, theaters were left to suffer -- so much so that this past weekend now ranks as literally one of the worst weekends the summer box office has experienced in a quarter century.
"The Garfield Movie" held far better than "Furiosa" in its second weekend, as the animated film topped the charts with a $14 million haul. That's good for Sony, but terrible for the industry at large. When we're in the midst of the summer moviegoing season and the number one movie on a given weekend pulls in $14 million, we're in trouble.

But who is he in the MCU? Esposito has long been rumored to join the gargantuan franchise, something made more real when the actor shared to social media some of his recent talks with Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige. However, we now have more information… sort of.
As part of the reshoots done for Captain America: Brave New World, the first with Anthony Mackie‘s Sam Wilson as the Sentinel of Liberty, Esposito has been added to the cast. Initial reports identified him as a new mystery villain who would act as an “agent of chaos.

In a not-so-surprising twist, Sony's 'The Garfield Movie' overtook Warner Bros.' Mad Max prequel 'Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga' to claim the top spot at the domestic box office this weekend. After an underwhelming Memorial Day weekend, the lazy, lasagna-loving cat pulled in $14 million from 4,108 theaters for a solid $51.5 million total after two weeks, bringing its worldwide gross to $152 million. Not a bad deal considering the film's $60 million price tag.
Meanwhile, 'Furiosa' fell to third place with $10.7 million, bringing the films domestic haul to a disappointing $49.6 million. Warner Bros.' had high hopes for George Miller’s action epic, with stars Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth headlining, and it has fared slightly better overseas with $64.7 million for a $114 million worldwide total. But like its predecessor, 2015's 'Mad Max: Fury Road,' its path to profitability looks increasingly rocky with a budget of $168 million. Wedged between 'Garfield' and 'Furiosa' was John Krasinski's family film flick 'IF.' The Paramount release collected $10.8 million in its third week for an $80.4 million domestic tally.
Notable new releases over the weekend include 'Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle,' the big screen anime adaptation of the popular manga with $3.5 million, and IFC Films’ slasher flick 'In a Violent Nature,' which brought in $2.1 million.
Overall, it was another disappointing weekend at the movies. With no major new releases, the total box office was down a sobering 65% compared to the same weekend last year. After an encouraging post-pandemic season in 2023—fueled by the blockbuster duo of 'Barbie' and 'Oppenheimer'—it’s a grim start to the summer movie season, with year-to-date revenues trailing 2023 by 24% so far. Hollywood is hoping the worst is behind it, though, as June and July have some (hopefully) guaranteed hits with Pixar’s 'Inside Out 2,' Illumination’s 'Despicable Me 4,' and the year's only Marvel movie, 'Deadpool & Wolverine.'

Over the years, we’ve learned to take a supposed cinematic finale with a pinch of salt. Years after Logan, Hugh Jackman is back in Deadpool & Wolverine. In horror-land, Saw: The Final Chapter turned out to be anything but. The apparent end of the Jurassic era with Jurassic World: Dominion lasted mere years, with a new film entering production shortly. But, if the title (and pre-release chatter) is to be believed Venom: The Last Dance will be Tom Hardy’s… well, last dance with the Venom symbiote, capping off Sony's trilogy of Spider-Man-adjacent comic book outings with a whole bunch more space-goo creatures in the mix. Following his very brief appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home, we catch up with Hardy’s Eddie Brock, who is now on the run – and facing foes both from Earth, and Venom’s homeworld. Check out the trailer:

Amazing Spider-Man #50 was recently released and ended with a major status quo shift for Peter Parker. The hero has been secretly brainwashed by the Green Goblin, transforming him into the twisted "Spider-Goblin."
We've yet to see the consequences of that change, though we're not expecting the hero's villainous new persona to be a permanent change.
The series has also seen the Sinister Six reassemble, and while that would usually be a problem for Peter, they'll now have to face the web-slinger with his twisted new persona.
Today, we have two spectacular variant covers for the final two chapters in this storyline; illustrated by Gabrielle Dell'Otto, we see the classic version of Spidey doing battle with the team: Doctor Octopus, Kraven the Hunter, Electro, Mysterio, Sandman, and The Vulture.

The aftermath of Avengers: Endgame had Marvel Studios enter its multiverse saga. A deep dive into the storyline with projects such as Loki, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, marked the beginning of that chapter and threw open the doors to endless possibilities. Furthermore, after its take on Kang saw botched results owing to narrative failures in flicks like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, a revamp of sorts is on the way with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in Deadpool & Wolverine.

Michael Schwartz and Tyler Nilson, who made Peanut Butter Falcon, have been hired to direct the English language remake of the Mads Mikkelsen-starring film, Riders Of Justice.
Not long after Riders Of Justice released back in 2021, news emerged that the Danish film would be getting an English language remake.
A revenge thriller told with an eccentric tone and a streak of dark comedy, the original Riders Of Justice (Retfærdighedens ryttere) was popular on its original release, and we gave it four stars in our review. Directed by Anders Thomas Jensen and starring Mads Mikkelsen in a story about ‘a recently deployed soldier who returns home to care for his teenage daughter after his wife is killed in a train accident. But when a team of statistics experts investigating the accident claim foul play, the soldier embarks on a revenge-fuelled mission, along with an eclectic group, to find those responsible.

Marvel has not been doing well in recent years. Their last film, “The Marvels,” was destroyed at the box office, and early test screenings of “Captain America 4” were reportedly not good. After the poor reception, rumors swirled about reshoots. Now, it seems that reshoots are coming, and they are also adding Giancarlo Esposito to the film.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Esposito appears on the reshoots call sheet. We don’t know much about the character he is playing, but we do know that he’s playing a villain. We also know that the reshoots will last 22 days and include some action sequences.
The film was originally shot last spring, and here we are a year later, doing reshoots. They wrapped shooting ahead of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Reportedly, reshoots were pushed back due to the strikes, as was the release date. Originally, the film was to...

If there is one fandom that is allowed to have the most trust issues, it is probably Marvel fans. The franchise is known for being especially untrustworthy with the information it gives out. The secrecy surrounding every single project in the MCU is ingrained in the very fabric of the franchise. The perfect example of how far they are willing to go to keep key details under wraps is what Andrew Garfield did in the days leading up to the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home.

The actor has famously been condemned for how much he lied during the release of the film. Fans would constantly bombard him with questions about his appearance in the film, and he would deny it over and over. When the film was released and fans found out that he was, in fact, in the movie,...

After seven years, Hugh Jackman is all set to reprise his role of Wolverine for Deadpool & Wolverine. The last time the actor played the clawed superhero was in the 2017 film ‘Logan’. The MCU movie also stars Ryan Reynolds, and it is helmed by Shawn Levy.
So far, the promo, trailers and posters of Deadpool & Wolverine have received a fantastic response. Marvel fans are excited to see Hugh and Ryan together on the big screen. The actors have left their fans in splits with their friendly bullying and banter. But was it all as easy as it looks to the audience? Well, not really.

Marvel Studios has a rather odd calendar in store for 2024. After years of lining up a slew of movies and shows post the Avengers: Endgame storyline, it has dialed back significantly with Deadpool & Wolverine standing out as its sole release for the year. Regardless, the Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman starrer has raked in sufficient hype and nostalgia to sail forward as one of the most anticipated Marvel movies in recent times, setting up the stage for a mega box-office showdown.

We're expecting to see some big cameos in Deadpool & Wolverine when it arrives in theaters later this summer.
However, it would be wise to keep expectations in check; after all, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness featured the likes of Professor X and Mister Fantastic but was somehow still deemed a disappointment by many fans (likely because rumours promised Spider-Man and an evil Iron Man played by Tom Cruise).
With that in mind, Deadpool & Wolverine might not be as star-studded as expected, especially with Avengers: Secret Wars on the horizon. Still, we're bound to see some characters from the X-Men franchise's past, right?
Appearing at the London premiere for Star Wars: The Acolyte earlier this week, Logan star Dafne Keen was asked whether she's "sad" not to be reprising her role as Laura in the upcoming Marvel Studios threequel.
"Of course it's sad. I love Hugh and creatively,...

When Logan came out in 2017, James Mangold had to age up Hugh Jackman to play an old man Wolverine. Seven years later, Jackman breaks his rule of returning to a character for a special case, but he would only be older. The Aussie had occupied the character since the genesis of the modern run of superhero movies at the turn of the millennium. Deadpool & Wolverine is a welcomed return for Jackman to the X-Men world, and it amazingly still makes sense despite the fandom already saying goodbye to him as the character years ago.
However, playing an intensely feral character for 24 years has made this last go much more difficult for Jackman. Especially with his older age. Deadline reports on an interview People Magazine had with Deadpool & Wolverine stars, Jackman and Ryan Reynolds. Jackman admits, “When I came back to it, it was really fun and I was thrilled.

Hugh Jackman found it "hard" to bulk up to play Wolverine again.The 55-year-old actor reprises his role as the iconic 'X-Men' superhero - who he last played in 2017's 'Logan' - alongside Ryan Reynolds in crossover blockbuster 'Deadpool and Wolverine' and he admitted the thing he found most difficult about returning to the character was "the food" because he is naturally "skinny" but needed to be buff.Speaking to Ryan in conversation for People magazine, he said: "The hardest bit … [was] the food. I have to eat a lot. For me, for my body type, I’m naturally skinny. "To get the size on, that’s the hardest bit. That’s the bit that does my head in.” His friend agreed: “Yeah, the five, six meals a day, which sounds great to some people. I’m sure they’re like, ‘Well, that sounds great.

Hugh Jackman has one complaint about renewing his acquaintance with the Wolverine role for his upcoming Deadpool and Wolverine.
“When I came back to it, it was really fun and I was thrilled. My body was a little sore at the beginning, but I was thrilled that my body was still responding. And I realized how good it is for your brain. But the hardest bit…the food,” Jackman says. He’s always had trouble bulking up.

Hugh Jackman is sharing the hardest part of getting back into superhero shape for Deadpool & Wolverine.
The actor, who reprises Wolverine for the Shawn Levy-directed movie, recently chatted with co-star Ryan Reynolds about transforming back into the character for the first time since 2017’s Logan.
The Free Guy star initially praised his longtime friend for his dedication to physical training. “Just the sheer relentlessness that you dedicated yourself towards stunts, choreography,” Reynolds, 47, said during the conversation for People. “It was the first time I’d ever seen how invaluable a background in song and dance is when you are doing an action movie.”
“You hit your marks in those fight scenes with speed and confidence, the likes of which I have never seen. I don’t care if you were 25, 35, 45 or 55. It was lightning,” he continued of his praise. “Watching you do what just looked like a clinic on...

The Dune 2 popcorn bucket has been joined by a Deadpool 3 model that resembles Wolverine’s head. Its oversized mouth is the actual receptacle for the tasty snack.
The new buckets were unveiled today in videos posted by Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool) and film director Shawn Levy on social media. The identical videos all carried the song Also Sprach Zarathustra, best known from the film 2001: A Space Odyssey.
No information has been released on the price point for the stylish bucket, or where it will be available. The Dune 2 bucket cost $24.99 and quickly sold out.

If the “Dune: Part Two” souvenir popcorn bucket accidentally looked like a sex toy, the “Deadpool and Wolverine” model took the mistake and ran with it.
The “Deadpool 3” popcorn bucket, adorned with “Also Sprach Zarathustra,” is just as degrading to Wolverine as Ryan Reynolds is to his faux-nemesis Hugh Jackman. Perhaps more.
Made to resemble Wolverine’s classic yellow helmet, the popcorn bucket features a gaping mouth. Its promotional video, shared on social media by Reynolds, shows liquid butter dripping down Logan’s masked face. Subtlety has never been in Deadpool’s golf bag.
“Years from now they will look back at 2024 as the year the War of the Popcorn Buckets began,” Reynolds tweeted.

Move over, “Dune,” there’s a new bang-able popcorn bucket in town.
Ryan Reynolds has revealed the new popcorn bucket created for “Deadpool and Wolverine” on social media Thursday — and the video is just as inappropriate as you’d expect from the R-rated superhero.
Inspired by the viral “Dune 2” popcorn bucket, the “Deadpool 3” receptacle is modeled after Wolverine’s head, but it has a comically oversized mouth you can fill with popcorn (or your movie snack of choice). Reynolds unveiled the bucket with a short video set to the epic song “Also Sprach Zarathustra” from “2001: A Space Odyssey.”
In the video, Deadpool slowly caresses the Wolverine popcorn bucket as the camera zooms in on its plastic features. Popcorn then falls from above and fills up the Wolverine mouth; and to top it all off, butter drizzles down his nose. It’s the latest viral marketing stunt for “Deadpool and Wolverine,...

Immediately, one imagines opportunistic movie fans planking over the bucket with wicked intentions. No? Just me? Clearly, y’all need to spend more time on the internet.

The Deadpool & Wolverine novelty popcorn bucket has been revealed.
On Thursday, star Ryan Reynolds unveiled a suggestive ad (below) teasing the vaguely naughty popcorn bucket for Marvel’s upcoming superhero team-up. The bucket is a Wolverine helmet with a very wide open mouth. The move follows Marvel chief Kevin Fiege promising a “crude and rude” design for the bucket.
“Years from now they will look back at 2024 as when the War of the Popcorn Buckets began,” Reynolds wrote.
In the video, a gloved hand caresses the helmet, popcorn falls on its “face,” and then butter is dribbled down its side (we’re confident that no further explaining is required).
On the side of the bucket, “Designed by Deadpool” is scrawled in red.
Reynolds first teased the bucket minutes after the Deadpool & Wolverine teaser trailer dropped during the Super Bowl: “Wait til you see the Deadpool popcorn bucket,” he wrote.

On the side of the bucket, “Designed by Deadpool” is scrawled in red.
Reynolds first teased the bucket minutes after the Deadpool & Wolverine teaser trailer dropped during the Super Bowl: “Wait til you see the Deadpool popcorn bucket,” he wrote.

Not too long ago, /Film provided a very serious review of the new "Despicable Me 4" popcorn bucket, turning one of Gru's loyal Minions into a receptacle for everyone's favorite buttery snack at the multiplex. It was a far cry from the surprisingly sexual "Dune: Part Two" popcorn bucket that featured the mouth of a sandworm emerging from the desert, complete with an opening that looked like it probably provided immense amounts of pleasure outside of movie theater snacking. But that's nothing compared to the "Deadpool & Wolverine" popcorn bucket.
On social media and YouTube, Ryan Reynolds revealed the "Deadpool & Wolverine" popcorn bucket that will be available for sale this summer when Marvel's first R-rated movie hits the big screen. We knew this was going to riff on the unintentionally inappropriate nature of the "Dune" popcorn bucket, joining the ranks of the many ridiculous movie-themed containers out there,...

We finally know what the popcorn bucket will look like for the upcoming “Deadpool & Wolverine” film. Marvel promised a naughty bucket, and now we have it—Wolverine with a mouth that mimics sex dolls, which is on brand, honestly, and sure to lead to fisting jokes. (This was not something I expected to write today or ever.)

It’s Wolverine with his mouth wide open. But the good news is that he’s wearing his mask!
The bucket part under his face says, “Designed by Deadpool.”
Of course, the video has to go all in on the inuendos, which makes it even more perfect.
We don’t know which theaters will receive the popcorn bucket or a price yet,...

Deadpool & Wolverine: The Merc With A Mouth Hijacks What If...? - An Immersive Story In Fun New Clip
Marvel Studios and Ilm Immersive's What If...? - An Immersive Story is now available for Apple Vision Pro, and one fan was in for a pleasant(?) surprise during a play through of the "hour-long mixed reality experience."
After entering the Tva, Miss Minutes introduces the player to their new co-worker: The Merc with A Mouth!
The screen then shows a moment from the first Deadpool and Wolverine trailer, with Ryan Reynolds' Wade Wilson dancing out of the elevator. This clip goes on a little longer, however, with Deadpool posing suggestively and reeling off some flirty dialogue.
While there's always a chance Reynolds recorded new dialogue, this is more likely a fourth wall-break from the movie, with the visual looped for the purposes of the game.
Check out the clip below, and let us know if you plan on giving What If..? - An Immersive Story a go in the comments.

The great thing about Jackman and Reynolds is that they are best friends in real life so it wasn’t difficult to convince people that they are the baddest pair of anti-heroes in the comic book world. For one, they love trolling each other the same way their characters would.
